The Denver Broncos have had a bit of a disappointing season this year under first-year head coach Vic Fangio, but the future is looking brighter each week. With the decision to go with rookie quarterback Drew Lock last week, the Broncos started a new era of football. He picked up a big win over the Los Angeles Chargers and is already turning heads this week.

Early on in their Week 14 matchup with the Houston Texans, Lock and fellow rookie, tight end Noah Fant, teamed up for a massive 48-yard catch-and-run. These two guys are going to be major cornerstones for the rebuild that the Broncos are going through.

Take a look at the big connection between the two rookies for yourself:

Fangio and company have to be excited with what they have seen from Lock. The Broncos have been searching for a long-term franchise quarterback for a long time and Lock has been showing that he has that kind of potential.
